    Ok out here where i live all the kids think that muscle cars can "smoke" anything, well sometimes yes, but the imports are lighter and faster, they dont beleive this they all drive camaro's, EL camino's and firebirds and such, well my friend, and a couple other's and I drive imports and think they rock, and everytime one of the muscle car drivers try to "race" us they always back out, i cant stand the kids out here they dont know anything about the whole "power / weight" ratio everyone out here im supprised can even spell their name, What do you guys think is better? muscle? or imports? honestly i'd take your guy's opinion further than other's becuase you all know what you're talking about. This kid out here thinks his V6 90 camaro can "smoke" my v6 Z31 can it? or is he all talk because he's got a camaro and he doesnt know its a brick compared to my Z.

        Yeah this will degrade quickly. In the end it's all about personal preference. It can be generalized that "muscle car" fans on the extreme end of the spectrum will be hickish idiots and "import" fans on the extreme end will be annoying 16 year olds.

        I will say this (opinion coming from the mind of someone who prefers Domestics to Imports) that ANYONE who owns a v6 Mustang/Camaro/"Muscle/Pony car" and thinks its fast without turbos or a blower is an idiot. Their opinions shouldn't even be considered or matter unless they have some sort of induction.

          V6 Camaro > anything. Anyone remember Burthwick? That dude knew what was up.

          Honestly, this is the most played out topic in the universe. Import guys will always refer to the stupid V6 camaro or Stang owner who thinks that no one realizes his car is short two cylinders. Domestic guys will always refer to the plethora of Camry/Accord/Civic owners with annoying exhausts as their only mods who zip around town like complete idiots.

          Sport bikes are better than either.

              I personally like both, but the best = Big muscle displacement with Import style refinement/tunning.

              Ex: Corvette
              Aston martin
              Ferrari
              Lambo

              These guys know whats up. Large displacement and "muscle" is a good base to start on, but is usually so unrefined that It's not so useful.

              Add the import tunning aspect of eeking every little bit out of what you've got and you're building a nice car.

                People who own imports are anime fags, people who own domestics are hillbillies.

                Is every one happy now?

                  I choose imports because they're generally cheaper and i like a car that can actually handle and that's very lightweight. V6 domestics have to be the worst "sports" cars out there and should be limited to cute girls driving them, the only exception is the Grand Nationals...that's a V6 that's sweet. Oh an push rods FTL!

                                I like losts of cars from lots of differant areas. i have a rednecked up SUV and a import. depending on how far you live from most of us, you could some how arrange for some fast imports to come visit your area.

                                PM me for:
                                Sandblasting(I use glass beads)
                                Diesel repairs or performance products.

Import guys will always refer to the stupid V6 camaro or Stang owner who thinks that no one realizes his car is short two cylinders. Domestic guys will always refer to the plethora of Camry/Accord/Civic owners with annoying exhausts as their only mods who zip around town like complete idiots.

                                        Sport bikes are better than either.

                                        HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                        I forgot about that guy, he was sooooo fast!

                                        I like imports and muscle both. I love the raw horsepower potential of muscle cars, but I love the technology that goes into making imports fast.
